Abstract

“Focus: Real Estate/ Construction/ Design” piece on SnapSpace Solutions of Brewer which fashions buildings out of shipping containers. The company, founded by Chad Walton, launched its first project in 2011, building a facility for the Eastport Port Authority. It has gone on to provide offices for the Eimskip terminal in Portland, a bunkhouse for Northwoods Management, and a U.S. Cellular tower in Pittsfield. They are also starting to attract attention outside the state. Article provides a very brief history of standardized shipping containers and examines the benefits and challenges of what is called “cargotecture.”
